A care provider in North Somerset has taken on responsibility for a major care contract to add to its existing services and this will also mean more job opportunities in the area.

Hundreds of people are currently supported by Notaro Homecare (NHC) in North Somerset and following the success gained from these services it has now been awarded a further 3,000 hours per week starting on December 14.

Sam Notaro, Company Business and Development Manager, said: “As an award-winning organisation, we’re currently looking for 60 staff members to join our team and are hosting recruitment days on November 23 and 24 at our offices at 25, The Boulevard, Weston-super-Mare, above Bottelino’s restaurant.

“We’ve been operating at a very high standard for a number of years across North Somerset and have an excellent team of highly trained staff, but this new contract means we are now looking to take on a further 60 staff in Weston-super-Mare to add to our current, valued and highly motivated team.”

Notaro Homecare will be responsible for future care packages for Weston, Banwell, Hewish, Kewstoke, Locking, St Georges, Wick St Lawrence and Worle. This strategic partnership with North Somerset Council will commence before the New Year.

All staff currently working for the Human Support Group are eligible to transfer to Notaro Homecare on, or before, December 14 on the same terms and conditions as they currently enjoy.

“We are keen to make the transition from one provider to another as seamless as possible for everyone involved.

“When care providers change, it’s natural that people have concerns. What everybody wants is continuity and that’s exactly what we want to provide too.”

Under TUPE legislation there are well established arrangements in place to ensure all existing staff are given the opportunity to transfer into a new provider on at least the same pay and conditions as they currently receive, and carry on delivering care and support to their existing service users.

“We would like to hear from people who currently work for the Human Support Group in North Somerset, who would like to continue in the same employment, but with Notaro Homecare. We’d like to reassure them and explain that we want to employ them.

“Our staff are really looking forward to working together to safeguard the service we provide and if you are a service user who wishes to get in touch, we’d love to hear from you too.”

Due to its continued hard work and dedication to its sector, Notaro Homecare Ltd supports hundreds of people remaining in their own homes. It provides an extensive range of services, from daily calls and sleep-ins to bespoke live-in care services.

Sam added: “If you are a caring person, with or without experience, Notaro Homecare can help you achieve your goals to become an exceptional carer. We offer training, competitive rates, travel time for walkers and drivers, mileage payments, consistent hours and runs, a refer a friend scheme and national discount scheme for major brands.”

The large team of trained, specialist, care workers provide positive-based outcomes and person-centred care to people throughout North Somerset.

Notaro Homecare’s core values, instilled into every staff member, include ‘make us proud’, ‘focus on our service users’ wellbeing’, ‘communicate, listen well and speak with respect’, ‘be passionate, honest, caring and considerate’, ‘recruit and develop the very best’ and ‘lead by example’.

Notaro Homecare has its own training department, which delivers full five day induction training and refresher training to experienced and non-experienced staff.

The recruitment days takes place this Wednesday and Thursday, November 23 and 24 at the Notaro Homecare’s offices at 25, The Boulevard, Weston-super-Mare, above Bottelino’s restaurant, BS23 1NX.
